I don’t know. I don’t know how it’s any different. To be honest, I don’t want it to feel different. Kind of over the, “First female blah blah blah,” and “Wow, maybe women can actually do the same things that dudes can do.” What a crazy concept. I feel like the more we talk about it, the more we perpetuate the myth that it’s an impossible task.

Ripley in the Alien movies. Sarah Connor of the Terminator franchise. “Badass” female characters are only new if you’re a low informational Millennial who thinks history began in January 2009. To claim otherwise downplays the incredible work by some incredible actresses. When have you ever seen Jodie Foster play a shrinking violet? Did no one see Speed with Sandra Bullock? Susan Sarandon in The Client? Critics make it sometimes sound like we’ve never seen a girl in a movie before. Or a woman in a leading role who takes no shits. False. We won’t even go down the Michelle Phieffer road. We’d be here all day.
